Associating Users with Profiles
Profiles define which parts of the user interface (for example, actions, tabs, and attributes) should be visible to a participant (such as a user, group of users, or the users of an organization). By associating participants with profiles, the user interface reflects the settings in the profile for that participant.

If the directory service your users are stored in is "read-only", then you cannot associate users with profiles using the Participant Administration utility. Instead, manage user profiles from the Profiles page in the Organization  or Site contexts. |
When creating a new user or editing an existing user, you can associate that user with a standard profile. On the Assign to Profiles step, specify the standard profile to which the user should be added as a member. You will need to create a standard profile prior to associating a user to a profile. Users cannot be associated with a license profile from this step; instead, they should be added to the corresponding license group on the Assign to Groups step.

Users can be added to a standard profile on the New User window and the Edit User window in all Windchill solutions.
